Long live King George! The inn that is. A developer whose plans to demolish the King George Inn in South Whitehall provoked an outcry last year has come to an agreement with the township to preserve it. The developer, Atul Patel of Upper Macungie Township, said he is proposing to buy the King George Inn from Cliff McDermott but would not raze it as originally planned. Instead, Patel would save the original structure while using the adjoining land to build a bank, a pharmacy and an extended-stay hotel similar to a Residence Inn or Homewood Suites.

The Morning Call reported March 22 on a recent study by the U.S. Department of Education that paints a "stark portrait of inequity" in our public school system. While it was noted that black students are more likely to be suspended at all grade levels (even pre-K, which is ludicrous), more details show just how institutionalized educational inequality has become.

One of my friends, exasperated with the media overkill relating to Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, posted this a few days ago on his Facebook page: "BREAKING NEWS!!! Some country's satellite may have seen something floating around somewhere in the ocean. Or not. " "Daily Show" host Jon Stewart hilariously mocked CNN's obsession with the missing plane, which included speculation about black holes, psychics and parallels to the TV program "Lost. " But the wall-to-wall coverage doubled the cable network's ratings.

Three weeks after a plea for her birth mother to step forward blazed through media outlets around the globe, Katheryn Deprill stood just one room away from the woman who abandoned her as a newborn 27 years ago in a Burger King bathroom. As she got ready to meet with her birth mother, Deprill entered the lawyer's conference room with a lifetime of questions. Why did she leave me? What is my heritage? What does she look like? But Deprill wanted something first — before the questions started.

A 24-year-old Reading woman tried to incite a crowd to riot outside an east Allentown club early Sunday, by yelling about Rodney King while she was being handcuffed, according to court records.

It might be said that the highlight of Aaron Gray's season so far has occurred not in an NBA arena but in a Phoenix bowling alley. Two days after his Toronto Raptors suffered the league's biggest fourth-quarter collapse since 1962, surrendering an 18-point lead on the way to a 112-103 loss at Golden State on Dec. 3, Toronto coach Dwane Casey took the Raptors on a team-bonding expedition to the alley instead of a scheduled practice.

But not all directors agree. In December, after receiving a complaint from a female employee on the conduct of Superintendent William King, the board hired an outside law firm to investigate. Directors discussed the investigator's final report during an executive session Monday night.

To begin with, Katheryn Deprill has a good life: a husband, three children - all boys, all feisty - and a long-term plan to step up from emergency medical technician to paramedic. She's a pretty woman with long, sandy hair, big blue eyes and features that hint at a Scandinavian heritage, or maybe Irish. Deprill doesn't know for certain. And she'll never know for sure, unless the woman who gave birth to her 27 years ago and abandoned her hours later in the bathroom of an Allentown fast food restaurant finally identifies herself.
